Hey, welcome back. Make the money count. Today we’re going to talk a little bit about the Bank of Canada announcement that just happened, which was surprising. Only the governor of the central bank has held the overnight rate where it is, which means the prime rate will maintain itself at a very lofty 7.2%, which for anybody in a variable rate mortgage is not helpful. What is helpful is that bond yields are significantly lower than they were a few weeks ago.

Bond yields are down. Our other favorite market, the Cedar Door market, is indicating huge drops in interest rates coming in 2024. This is all a result of how poorly Canadian consumer spending and confidence is performing. This idea of threading the needle into a soft landing, it really predicated upon decreasing interest rates quickly enough to get the consumer back into the market.

something that we’re a little bit worried about: if the consumer doesn’t come back to spending and doesn’t have confidence, it’s going to be difficult to restart our economy. this idea that these high interest rates need to stay longer we kind of continue to hear that verbiage from the Bank of Canada, the Bank of Canada didn’t really make a nod towards decreasing interest rates at all in their statement, and we didn’t expect them to do so.
